A **wheel balancing sticker weight** (also called an adhesive wheel weight) is a small strip of metal weights with adhesive backing that is attached to a wheel rim to correct imbalance in a tire-and-wheel assembly. ### Purpose When a wheel is not perfectly balanced, it can cause: * Steering wheel vibration * Uneven tire wear * Reduced ride comfort * Additional stress on suspension components The balancing machine identifies where weight needs to be added, and the technician applies sticker weights to counteract the heavy spot. ### Types * **Adhesive (sticker) weights** – Stick to the inside of alloy wheels; commonly used on modern passenger cars. * **Clip-on weights** – Clamp onto the rim flange; more common on steel wheels. ### Common Materials * Steel (most common today) * Zinc * Lead (largely phased out in many regions due to environmental regulations) ### Typical Sizes Sticker weights are usually supplied in segments such as: * 5 g * 10 g * 15 g * 20 g A strip may contain multiple segments that can be broken off as needed. ### Installation 1. Mount the wheel on a balancing machine. 2. Measure imbalance. 3. Clean the wheel surface thoroughly. 4. Apply the required weight at the indicated location. 5. Recheck balance to confirm correction. ### When They Need Replacement Sticker weights may need replacement if: * They fall off due to poor adhesion, dirt, or corrosion. * The tire is replaced or remounted. * Wheel balancing is performed again. These weights are widely used on alloy wheels because they are hidden behind the spokes and do not damage the wheel finish.
